Electricity is integral to how we live our daily lives. It lights up our rooms, powers our electrical devices and keeps our appliances such as fridges and stoves running.
From time to time you’re bound to run into electrical problems. It’s imperative that you fix them as soon as possible. Hiring an electrical contractor who is experienced in handling electricity is the best option to prevent issues in your home such as accidental fires, electrical shocks, flickering lights and outlets that don’t work.
Signs you need to call Moonlight Electric:
- Tripping Circuit Breaker - while it's common for a circuit breaker to trip and turn off a circuit automatically, if yours does it often, you might be overloading safety capacity.
- Flickering and dimming lights when using large appliances - in most cases a flickering light indicates a loose or defective light bulb but in some cases it could be due to loose fixture connection or electrical wiring.
- Buzzing Lamps - if you feel a slight shock or buzz every time you turn on a lamp it could indicate the beginning of a more serious issue.
- Hot Outlets - electrical outlets should NEVER be hot to the touch and if yours are it could mean that you have a serious issue with your electrical. One that has the potential to lead to a house fire.
- Electrical Shocks - if you're feeling a mild shock or tinge every time you plug a wire in a socket or touch an appliance, the appliance may have a ground fault or improper electrical wiring.
- Burning Odor - if you notice a burning odor emanating from any switch or outlet, turn off the electrical panel power immediately and contact us straight away. It may indicate the beginning of an electrical fire.
